Little Ruanruan tilted her head and looked intently at Fu Yin, the long-haired jade carving master with an artistic air, as he carefully cut the imperial green jade she had bought back into jade pendants.
After cutting it, Fu Yin took out a leather wallet containing a complete set of various carving knives.
The little dumpling's eyes were bright and sparkling, and Su Xixi's eyes were even brighter. These carving knives looked just like her set of scalpels.
It made her hands itch to do it.
Fu Yin held the cut jade stone with great affection. He had carved countless pieces of jade in his life, but he had never seen such a beautiful imperial green.
It is said that this imperial green jadeite was created by the young lady of the Su family. He can be said to have been fortunate enough to see it today thanks to her.
"Uncle, can you give Ruanruan a piece so she can carve it herself?" After squatting down and watching for a while, little Ruanruan couldn't help but ask in her childish voice.
"Me too, Uncle, give me one too!" Su Xixi quickly chimed in from the side.
Fu Yin looked at the jade and felt a pang of heartache. What a pity it would be if the child ruined such a fine piece of jade!
But then he looked at the exquisitely beautiful little dumpling, and heard her soft, sweet voice, as gentle and smooth as milk chocolate, and he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
The little dumpling clasped her hands together, pouted, and pleaded, "Uncle, please, please, let Ruanruan try a piece!"
Fu Yin gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, then you can learn from Uncle. See how Uncle carves, and then you can carve just like him, okay?"
"Mmm!" The little dumpling nodded obediently.
After receiving a piece of jade from Fu Yin, one person squatted down and watched intently as Fu Yin polished and carved it.
After watching for a while, the little dumpling picked up the tools and started doing it herself.
Fu Yin also stopped what he was doing and watched as the little dumpling's fair and tender hands polished the jade pendant in a very professional manner.
He nodded with satisfaction. This little girl learns things quickly. He would see if her talent was decent and then consider taking her as his apprentice.
With that in mind, Fu Yin focused on his carving.
When he got tired of carving, he looked up at the two little ones.
The jade in Susie's hand was in a terrible state, but the one in Little Softie's hand...
Fu Yin was shocked when he saw it, and after looking at the little dumpling, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Is this a piece that a four-year-old child could carve?
On this tiny jade pendant, Xiao Tuanzi carved a lifelike dragon coiled around it, with the dragon's whiskers and scales clearly visible. However, because Xiao Tuanzi made the dragon look cute, it didn't appear as imposing as it should be.
However, it also adds a touch of gentle playfulness and cuteness.
Fu Yin was captivated by the little dumpling's earnest carving.
She was so engrossed in carving the little dumpling that she didn't even notice Fu Yin watching her the whole time.
She carefully used a tiny carving knife to dot the dragon's eyes.
In an instant, Fu Yin seemed to see the finishing touch of the painting in the book come to life again.
The adorable dragon truly seemed to come alive and take flight.
The little dumpling puffed out his cheeks and blew a couple of breaths onto the jade pendant. His bright, sparkling eyes looked at his work with great satisfaction. Now all he had to do was carve his older brother's name on it!
Only then did she notice that Fu Yin was looking at her. She tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Uncle, what's wrong? Is this soft sculpture not pretty enough?"
"No, no, no, it's beautiful, extremely beautiful!" Fu Yin said hastily, snapping out of his daze.
Little Ruanruan's big eyes instantly turned into crescent moons with laughter.
Xiao Tuanzi continued carving the unfinished parts of the jade plaque.
Fu Yin also lowered his head, preparing to continue.
"Oh ho!"
Just then, Su Xixi let out a sigh that seemed regretful but actually contained a hint of pleasure.
Xiao Tuanzi and Fu Yin both looked at the original jade pendant blank in her hand.
The jade blank had been split in two.
Fu Yin felt a pang of heartache. Although these were Su family possessions, it was truly a waste to use them like this!
"Cough cough..."
Susie cleared her throat awkwardly. "Well, he can't blame me for this. It's just that this broken stone is too brittle. Little dumpling, you can play with your stone by yourself. I'm going to catch a rabbit to play with."
She placed the broken jade pendant on the workbench, patted her bottom, and left.
Fu Yin was left heartbroken and wanted to pound his chest in pain.
The little girl didn't care. Anyway, as her older brother said, buying such a big rock for 500,000 yuan was practically like getting it for free.
After finishing carving the piece for her older brother, the little girl turned her attention to the large piece of jade that remained after the jade plaque was cut.
This time she didn't ask Fu Yin, because in her opinion, the jade plaque had already been cut out, and the rest was useless. She could use it to carve for fun without any problem.
The little dumpling held the remaining large piece, looking it over from left to right. He tilted his little head and carefully considered the design before starting to carve along the cut marks and the original shape of the jade.
When Fu Yin looked up again, she had already carved the outline of a giant dragon and eight small figures on its back.
This time, Fu Yin's pupils dilated in shock, "Little dumpling, you..."
Immersed in her creation, the little dumpling looked up, blinked her big, sparkling eyes, and said sweetly, "Uncle, I think it's a waste to have such a big piece of stone left, so I want to use this piece to carve another big dragon. My brothers and sisters and I will sit on the back of the dragon, which will be really cool!"
